Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"the blades are too close, hair gets stuck, and needs continuous rinsing resulting in a slow and inferior shave. There are actually 3 subsets of negative reviews: 1) fakes 2) lesser quality than store and 3) believed they were 'ProGlide' (more than 50%). On #2, I have bought these razors in the store probably for 10 years and have had similar experiences (on rare occasions) to the negative reviews like "do not last as long", "strip faded quickly".. i think these are issues of quality control from Gillette and not specific to where or how you buy them. However, if you read carefully, the box flap is only an advertisement to 'upgrade' to ProGlide - It does NOT imply that the razors included are 'ProGlide'. So, my point is that this is not a 'too good to be true' price that would make me question the authenticity. My experience with the product: I opened the box and immediately believed the packaging and razors to be real."
"Okay now for the tip: The number one tip I can give for keeping your razors sharp and new FOR WEEKS is to dip them in rubbing alcohol after every-single-use. I keep a small plastic container with a lid in my bathroom cabinet filled with the rubbing alcohol. I bought a 4 pack of these razors last year for my husband and I to use and I'm just now replacing them because of this simple trick."
"These are not Gillette Fusion ProGlide, emphasis on the ProGlide, blades."
"The package only included 4 of the Gillette Fusion blades!"
"They arrived as pictured in a box inside if plastic that fit the cartridges holding the razors."
"I have been using gillette fusion for years."
"Razors are definitely not Gillette first quality."
"Used one and cut my face twice."

"Great razor."
"the old one lasted about 15 years..decided to get a new one instaed of just getting new blades..nice shave."
"It's much more convenient than the Norelco it replaced (the one with the built in Nivea lotion dispenser) but it doesn't shave as close as it did."
"Shaver quit working after a week or so and would not recharge."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Myth busted, Ladies - this does NOT make your hair grow back darker. Waxing gives the appearance that softer, finer hair grows back, but trust this Spanish girl...give it time and waxing creates MORE hair growth that eventually grow back darker. Ever been staring at yourself in your car visor mirror and the sun is hitting at just the right angle and GASP - you are wondering - WHERE HAVE ALL THESE HAIRS COME FROM?! But, it zapped all the hair away, felt as smooth as a fresh wax without the redness, irritation and break outs!! And, a couple of days later when I saw the peach fuzz coming back, I was able to remove it quickly. It removes hair from my toes, fingers, hands, knees - all those places that I inevitably nick myself during shaving, I am able to clean up with this beauty tool. So, ladies - next time you are on your way to a hot date, KEEP THIS IN YOUR HANDBAG, BAG OR CLUTCH AT ALL TIMES - you never know when the sun will hit you at just the right angle and lordy knows you don't want your hot date noticing your "sensitive areas" - this little life saver is the answer to all of my prayers. Not to mention that it's discreet and beautiful - everyone I show this to wants one too - I may have to stash one everywhere...in my car, at work, you get the hint..."
"Now I'm trying my best to get rid of these razor bumps so that the won't leave dark marks."
"When I opened the box, the plastic hanger tag typically attached to the outside was inside the box, but I thought "hmm, maybe it just fell in.""
"Does NOT work on course hair."
"I am really starting to get annoyed with all the fake reviews on products."
"Here's the thing--I'm hairy, I have to actually shave my facial hair--I thought this would be the answer to my prayers!! Very disappointed--DONT purchase if you're remotely hairy--if you have baby fine THIN hair it may work for you--otherwise steer clear!! As I noted in my original review, if you have fine, baby hair this may work for you--otherwise steer clear of it."
"This does not remove hair it only trims hair."
"does not remove chin hairs down to skin level."

Find Best Price at Amazon"They all had a light smell, which we would describe as slightly nutty for lack of a better term, but certainly not offensive (and my nose is pretty sensitive) Each absorbed at the same rate in both of our skin. The brands were Viva Naturals Organic Moroccan 4 oz- Pura D'Or Moroccan 4 oz and Aria Starr Beauty ORGANIC Argan Oil 1 oz."
"If I had to guess it's probably a small amount of Argan oil, diluted in cooking oil."
"I love Argan Oil. I love Viva and I purchase some of vitamins from amazon but never will I purschase this oil again. I have been using 100% Argan Oil for years."
"I've used a few different brands of argan oil, and none of them had a smell like this one does."
"This breaks my skin out."
"Don't like it i had another argan oil that did wonders , and i was about to buy the same one but i saw this And hey wats the difference good ratings n everything ..... buttt i should have trusted my frist instinct i got it smelled very bad i and i put on my face at that time then i notice break out and face being itchy i didn't think it would be this cause i tried many new things out so i stoped using products and slowy i used my product one by one to see which was the Cause of it and it was this."
"I've tried other pure argan oil brands, but the price of this product tempted."
"If I missed any warning on the bottle or the info before I purchased this smelly oil, then thas on me."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Let me tell you about this baby...I got this for my wife and myself as the masseuse is very expensive, and while I don't mind massaging my wife, it is not very easy either on the floor, or on the bed. As for build, I have nothing to compare it to as I have never used any other tables, nor ever had a professional massage...but this thing seems well built. This table sure has helped me up my massage game, and a massage is always good for brownie points...if you get my drift ;)."
"My fiancé and I would give each other massages but if you have ever tried to give a real massage on a regular bed you know that it is difficult to move around. Get a real massage table for home use and spice up your love life."
"This table was a lovely Christmas Surprise to help her begin her business."
"This table is for personal use but so far a wonderful product."
"This will make it more comfortable for her and the table below headrest for her book or iPad is perfect."
"This is a sturdy table and easily set up by myself."
"Awesome table."
"If you are a licensed and professional therapist, chiropractor, reiki master, PT etc STAY AWAY FROM THIS TABLE!! Here's the breakdown: PROS: -The color was correct (black). CONS: -The table squeaks A LOT! The only client I used it on was a very skinny man and he barely fit both his arms on the table comfortably. -The side armrests are in terrible positions, don't even align with arm position..they get in the way of the massage."

"You know your heels are bad when your boyfriend comments on them."
"I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this, and I was concerned about the number of complaints that the unit stopped working when pressing against a callous. When you open the package, just peel apart the plastic from the top and sides, it unsnaps pretty easily. I sat outside on my deck to do it, and I recommend using it outdoors if it's possible, otherwise, you wind up with a coating of powdery white dust / dead skin flakes all over the place. The rolling head spins pretty fast, and it's a very course surface, making it highly effective when used properly. Pressing harder against it does nothing to increase the effectiveness, in fact it slows down the roller and, as mentioned before, will cause it to stop spinning altogether. When using, it's best not to keep the roller on one spot for more than a few seconds: keep moving it around so you don't wind up burning (heat from friction) and damaging the soft skin under the calluses."
"I started taking Altrexa by Biotek Nutrition – Powerful Thermogenic Diet Pill Fat Burner for Fast Weight Loss and it boosted my energy so much that I am now running for an extra 10 minutes every day."
"I was thankfully blessed with a pretty face. In return for that I was handed the ugliest feet ever!"
"I have to file with a coarse file on a daily basis or callouses build up quickly."
"So I purchased this and the Burt's Bees foot cream, which I adore. I have a few small cracks that I am working on but this tool has been so worth the money."
"I was hesitant to order this based on some negative reviews but gambled that it would fit my needs."

"Not only does it make my feet soft & smooth it is able to rich under toes and hard to reach areas."

"I am somewhat of a beauty product aficionado and I have a lot of makeup brushes, both high end and inexpensive. Because there is not much glue holding them together, the handles will detach fairly easily. Then put some hot glue around the rim of the brush head and quickly insert the handle. I did this with all of my brushes (and I have used this technique on other inexpensive brands as well) and it works well. The only other complaint I might have is that these soak up a lot moisture, so when you dry them after washing, try to dry them upside down."
"I've been using Sigma brushes and Real Techniques brushes, but looking for more. The 5 brushes for the eyes are a little 'bulky', not those fine brushes for detail work but then they are great for eye shadow over the crease. Yesterday I washed the brushes with coconut oil & dish soap and warm water and now they are soft and clean and just perfect."
"These brushes are amazing."
"Good brushes."
"I ordered these brushes with the Anastasia contour kit & I'm blown away with how amazing these brushes are, they make your foundation look so much smoother."
"They wash well and have not had any hairs come loose on my face yet."
"I have super sensitive skin so most of my brushes hurt my face to use them (too stiff and/or coarse) and I have one that's so soft it does nothing. I want a brush that effectively smears and blends my makeup without tearing my face off. 2nd UPDATE: My daughter asked me today where I got those wonderful brushes, she wants another set!"
